Dean's Blue Hole, Long Island, Bahamas. A striking 200‐m deep natural water feature. Blue Holes are common to these islands and are laden with rich symbolic meaning, as evidenced by their association with precontact Lucayan human burials.

The focus on sustainability and water quality in agriculture, urban, and ecosystem development management is a small fraction of the general water sustainability articles published in these three areas. Outside of these subcategory searches, 1835 articles related to ‘sustainable + water + management + development’ and another topic, such as coastal management or fishing, creating an ‘other’ category.

Long‐term river flow changes and interactions between climate, vegetation, society, and policy of the lower Limpopo Valley (South Africa and Mozambique), stress that policy and management must take heed of climate variability, and to plan and mitigate for variability in an equitable share of water.

An accurate representation of snow redistribution by wind and avalanches in hydrological models is important: (i) to accurately simulate runoff as the snow cover variability has an impact on timing and magnitude of snowmelt runoff; and (ii) to avoid the formation of snow towers, i.e. multi‐year accumulation of snow at high elevations.
